Equipment Wash Facility awarded BRC Certification

Returnable Transit Packaging Company PPS Midlands Ltd gets BRC Certification for State of the Art Industrial Washing Facility in Measham

PPS Midlands Ltd is pleased to announce that they have been awarded BRC Certification under the Storage and Distribution Standard at their state of the art equipment washing facility in Measham.

The principal trade of PPS Midlands is management of returnable transit packaging. This incorporates the supply of returnable equipment such as plastic crates, trays, boxes and pallets in addition to collapsible pallet boxes and bulk bins. PPS manage pools of equipment and part of that equipment management is the hygienic washing of all used packaging.

Operations Director Andy Flynn said “We already held ISO22000 at Measham but felt that BRC Certification was more applicable and a more recognisable standard. Most of our clients supply the primary retailers so having BRC certification demonstrates our commitment to providing our customers with a returnable packaging solution that is second to none. We now have both Grimsby and Measham operating within the standards of the BRC Standard, having obtained certification for PPS East Ltd at Grimsby in December 2011”

The scope of the certification comes under the Consumer Products and Packaging Category and reads “Washing and sterilising plastic boxes, pallets and bins: delivering logistical support to the Customer”. This is the perfect fit for our operations in the Midlands where we provide tray and crate washing for a big number of customers within the food processing trade.

We also offer a pallet washing service.
